+# Things
+
+This project provides a framework to build sensor and actuator devices, based
+on the relatively cheap ESP8266 chip. Simple devices can be distributed around
+the house. They connect to a MQTT broker via WiFi network. New sensor values
+are published as MQTT messages, and actuators subscribe to certain topics to
+receive commands via MQTT.
